Broadway vs Hollywood The Stage Winds Back On the Invasion

The piece argues Hollywood’s moneyed push into Broadway has not crippled theater. It notes young stage talent outshines aging stars, while show business shifts between film and live stage. Jolson, Warner Brothers, and Arch Selwyn surface as examples of crossovers and plans, with doubts about any comeback of silent stars on Broadway.

Broadway Eyes Silent Stars as Talkies Stir Stage

The piece surveys Selwyn and Ziegfeld weighing talkie talent's Broadway impact, noting many film players lack stage renown yet may tour the nation. It highlights Miriam Hopkins and Sally Phipps among others, praising New York theater as a proving ground while Hollywood seeks legitimacy on the legitimate stage.
